Cites "local sentiment" and says they can't provide security. Poor stuff from Himachal. He should know that BCCI takes responsibility if they choose to host global events. Otherwise you have to first kick Pakistan out of the ICC. Good move from BCCI man Thakur to tell Himachal to zip it.

Unless there was a specific security threat against the Pakistan team, the match should go ahead. If there was a specific threat against the Pakistan team then ... the match will still go ahead. What? You expect a different outcome? We aren't talking of touring Bangladesh (or not if you are Australia) - this is the country where you go to get PAID as a cricketer. Ajaira drama.

I hope Indian people see the real face of congress, they won't hesitate to tarnish country's image to hurt BJP. It will backfire though.

There is no argument.. They just want to spoil the country's name thinking everyone will blame BJP since they are in power in central..Nothing but pure politics..

That's just a hype created by opposition they are really tolerant. . PM has been travelling to many countries and bringing in lot of investment..
